War against Iran is only one drop of blood away
The recent incident with the British sailors appears to be yet another link in the war game. The British operate in a sensitive area close to the Iranian sea border. The Iranians apprehend them on the spot. But the British do not send a distress signal. Moreover, there is HMS Cornwall lying in close proximity to the location of the incident, but the warship refrains from intervening. A conductor’s baton will probably go dancing in the air soon: yet another craft will be intercepted by the Iranians in their border area. But this time it is going to be a U.S. Navy patrol boat whose crewmembers will fire at the enemy in line with the rules of engagement. The U.S. will certainly set the ball in motion and launch an attack against Iran if any of U.S. servicemen gets killed during the incident.
“We can only benefit from U.S. air strikes, by and large,” said a government official during an interview in Tehran. “They won’t do any harm to our nuclear program since Iran’s nuclear research facilities are hidden deep underground in 25 locations. We’ll be able to recover our financial losses pretty fast because the oil prices will surely shoot up to $150-200 per barrel. The point is that there’ll be no land invasion, and the air strikes will mostly hit the civil population. The dead bodies of Iranian women and children strewn across the debris will be on TV across the world. Once the air strikes are over, Iran will emerge as a new leader of the Islamic world. It’s fair enough; I mean President Bush needs to a small victorious war to keep Hillary Clinton from winning the next presidential election. We might as well need that war too,” said the Iranian government official.
There are a couple of lines in The Good Soldier Svejk, a famous novel by Jaroslav Hasek. The quotation is good enough for summing up the story.
“The war will break out – that’s the only thing I can tell you.”
“Well, you don’t have to say anything else.”
